Bronzed, Flushed and Highlighted for Spring

A few new palettes by Sephora that are going straight into my seasonal beauty bag.

One of my favourite things about spring is changing up my daily beauty routine, and a little more blush and bronzer is always on the cards. There's something about a healthy (fake) tan, flushed cheeks and highlighted skin than just makes it feel like spring, even if it's raining, like it is here today [insert sad face here]. And so, it is finally time to fish out my bronzer collection and get pumped for some much warmer weather.

I've actually had these stunning Sephora palettes in my makeup collection for a while, but I've been waiting for the perfect moment to try them out (swishing a brush into a new palette is strangely a huge thing for me - is anyone else like that?), and there seems no perfect time than now at the beginning of our Aussie spring. To be honest, I wasn't sure if these palette would work for me, especially the Sephora Collection Sun Disk Bronzer with it's trio of shades. I thought the apricot shade would look too orange on me, especially since I am naturally so pale (AKA a little bronzer goes a very long way), but it was actually really flattering and super easy to blend. When the weather warms up, I like to sweep bronzer across my nose as well as the outer edges of my face for that natural sun kissed look.

I used the Sephora Collection MicroSmooth Baked Sculpting Contour Trio in Sophisticated to, you guessed it, sculpt my cheekbones. I then swiped the pink blush from the Sassy trio on the apples of my cheeks (a little more than I usual would for that extra flush). I also used the amazing luminizer from said palette to the top of my cheekbones, the tip of my nose and my cupids bow. I've decided I really really like this highlighter. If you want some serious strobing, this is the product for you.

To finish the look, I swiped on the Neek Skin Organics Vegan Lipstick in Whole Lotta Rosie with the Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Lip Pencil in Brick and the ModelCo Shine Ultra Lip Gloss in Striptease, a very wearable daily combination that I'm loving.

What are your favourite bronzer, blush and illuminator palettes for spring?

PS. I'm wearing the Three of Something Supernova top.
